Wilson iPad App and "E" series speakers.
Debby, This would be to roll off the bass earlier? I have stone & thicker walls but a very large room for example. 
Stylus Drag
Andrew, I have checked my speed on my BN with a digital readout through my computer using a program that is free called iSpectrum. What I do is play test frequencies and checked the Waterfall plot and it is spot on. My biggest factor is the belt. ... 
Turntable speed accuracy
Rockitman,I have been doing almost the same. Card as test LP 1khz tone through my Prism Orpheus into my MAC Mini. I see it on the screen. You can see the stability of the signal and all. And I can hear the differences as well. 
Tonearm: Phantom vs. 4 Point vs. 10.5
Bob,I assume you have a turntable in the works. And as far as synergy, would you not agree the synergy is more important with the cartridge than the turntable? 
Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2
Pradeep,The change of the TW BN power supply is primarily a quieter background (this depends on your home electrical system somewhat) and a more relaxed sound. I have A/B'd the 2 extensively. Just to help you isolate the differences. I love my Tit... 
Tonearm: Phantom vs. 4 Point vs. 10.5
I made my own arc protractor for my 10.5. I don't know how to email with the new Agon. If you find a way I can email an XPS file. 
PASS and ZYX
For me the Pass XP25 is one of the best phono stages period with all the benefits of SS and none of the drawbacks typically associated with SS. I love tubes for many things but in the case of the Pass XP25 it defies the need for tubes with a natur... 
ARC vs VTL
Which VTL is what matters? VTL 450 Mk3 is in a different league than the earlier product. The original 450 should not be compared to the 210. And the S400 is not a 450. I much prefer the new 450 Mk3 to the earlier versions and the S400. But when y... 
pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier.
XA30.5 is excellent. As mentioned above the Atmasphere might not be what you are looking for. They are not bloomy. Also, in my case a fine tube preamp will do the trick. Pass can sound more valvy than most tube amps. To get more bloom you might sa... 
Do you buy Insurance for Stereo Equipment?
Speak to an adjuster not an agent. I had flooding in my house but didn't have any damage (it was 1 inch water from a burst pipe). I had flood coverage and everything was raised 3 inches high but I did find out that my system needed to be listed as... 
Pass XA.60.5 Monoblocks to Pass XA.100.5 Monoblock
Thank you fora wonderful & informative review. Your results are expected. Even with more efficient speakers. I have been told by a few the XA100.5sare the "sweet" point of the line. Enjoy them. I am curious about the 200.5s. 
Graham Phantom with Benz Lp-s Tracking problems
Add some blu tak to the Phantom on top of the headshell. Basically increase the mass of the cartridge. This will move the. Counterweight distance from the pivot but you can add mass to the counterweight as well to bring it closer. This will reduce... 
Which Digital Level Gauge to buy?
Ketchup,I am just pocking some fun at myself and the concept of this thread. If you are an outsider and read this it is truly entertaining in a comedic sense. As for the $1500 diamond scale? I am in the jewelry business. I setup retail operations ... 
Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE
Teflon caps take forever to open up. A review now or any comparison at this early a stage is pointless and honestly misleading. I don't trust anyone reviewing a product within the1st week it is in house. Just moving it around requires time for the... 
Which Digital Level Gauge to buy?
This is just so funny. Think about it. We are debating level accuracy as it relates to listening to music. True audiofool nerviosa. I willstickwith my Android for simple things and for construction a good level should do the trick. And finally I u...
